I'm not nitpicking, I'm saying you shouldn't assert or imply a causal relationship exists when the data isn't sufficient to support that relationship in a statistically significant way.

Nobody really has to program in assembly unless they are making a new compiler.

The King or Queen appointing the PM is a Historical artifact. In reality they just rubber stamp whoever the governing party elects.

The big takeaway I see here is all my classes programming in assembly were pretty worthless. Are higher level languages used everywhere now?

This looks a whole lot more like noise than signal. Especially with these esoteric languages that probably have very few data points. Not like you just learn one language either. A lot are very similar to each with with just minor syntax changes or features.

Just to be clear: this is chart of trading by insiders, it's NOT a chart of the crime "insider trading" which is when people trade with inside information.

Just font understand the point of owning one of these cards. Prices increase exponentially but you're getting diminishing returns.

Well, its kind of a chicken and egg scenario. The high prices are what's CAUSING the recession.

Just to be clear it's not really my opinion, it's the experts opinion. That's why prices have been plummeting recently:

That's not really what this graph shows. Europe's gas storage is very high and a warm winter is expected. Everything should be OK so long as the forecast stays warm.

I saw a photo of one of these cards and assumed it was just a photoshopped meme making fun of their size. These cards are chunky as hell! It's basically to the point where the graphics card is the "main" board and everything else is just its peripherals.

The issues in Texas and California are more to do with their political posturing than deregulation.

Bro, we're talking about the transmission network which means 100kV+, not your little 13kV distribution feeder.

They don't have fuses, lol. Computers monitor the load and trip the lines off it it gets above what they are rated for.

There's no "dead man's switch". The issue is simply the ephemeral nature of electricity. For the grid to work everything has to remain in perfect balance. It really doesn't take long for it to drift of course without a guiding hand.

It includes that element, but still underestimates it. People here don't seem to realize just how little this process it automated.

That's wrong on multiple levels. First off the units WOULD trip offline and second if they didn't they would physically break as soon as the grid went down because there would be no load on the generators.

Reply to comment by sergeial in [OC] Number of road deaths per 100k motor vehicles per year by scottpaulin
It's pretty easy to reduce road deaths, you just have to get people to slow down. Risk of death increases exponentially with speed. Unfortunately few people are actually on board with stricter enforcement of speed limits. Maybe increasing penalties for texting while driving would work similar to how DUI laws were increased a few decades ago?
